The Egyptian Golf Federation will host the 24th Arab Junior and Ladies Golf Championship, held from May 7th to 10th. The tournament, under the auspices of the Arab Golf Federation, will be held at Madinaty Golf Club and Katameya Dunes Golf Club in Cairo.
The championship competitions features five age categories for boys and girls, in addition to a special category for ladies. These categories represent a wide range of championship history, with one marking its 24th edition and others their 16th, 5th, 4th, and 2nd consecutive times.
The championship is open to all member countries of the Arab
Golf Federation: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco,

The championship aims to enhance and support golf in the

federations, as well as for Arab players on the regional and international
stage.
Omar Hesham Talaat, President of the Egyptian Golf
Federation, expressed his satisfaction with the federation's role in hosting
the inaugural amateur championship of the Arab Golf Federation's 2025 schedule.
He said: "We are honored to organize the Arab Junior and Ladies
Championship in collaboration with Madinaty Golf Club and Katameya Dunes Golf
Club."
He further stated that this championship represents the
first major regional championship held during the tenure of the new board of
directors of the Egyptian Golf Federation. The Golf Federation has ambitious
plans to set a new standard for hosting golf championships in Egypt, the Arab
region, and North Africa, encompassing both amateur and professional levels.
This will be achieved through cooperation with local, regional, and
international golf bodies, in addition to professional golf tours from around
the world.
"For the first time," Omar Hesham stated, "we
are inviting the public to experience the Arab Junior and Ladies Championship.
With a focus on attracting residents of Madinaty, we organize a 'Golf Festival'

features recreational golf activities, as well as musical performances, aimed
at attracting all age groups and introducing them to this sport in an enjoyable
way.” He continued: "Our goal is to promote golf and inspire greater
participation across all age groups."
He emphasized that the Egyptian Golf Federation looks
forward to enhancing Egypt's position on the sports tourism map by organizing
the championship at the highest level, hosting it at Cairo's exceptional golf
courses, and ensuring a positive experience for all players, delegations,
guests, and fans.
It is noted that entry to the championship is free, but
prior registration is required.
